This morning, Yang Fei maintained this cultivation state without stopping.
Qin Yanyang stayed with him all morning, and at noon she received a phone call and went to Wu’an City to handle governmental affairs.
In the afternoon, Tong Yunshu came looking for Yang Fei, and also noticed that Yang Fei was in a mysterious cultivation state. She couldn’t help but feel both surprised and delighted, silently guarding by Yang Fei’s side, hoping for him to soon return to his peak state.
In Yang Fei’s body, the amount of True Qi refined from those mysterious Power Elements wasn’t very much, only equivalent to the cultivation total of Late Stage Internal Strength.
However, this force continued to gallop within his body, and once again refined those acupoints he had tempered before.
Yang Fei could clearly feel that the Martial Meridian newly opened during this process was becoming increasingly powerful, and the acupoint space was more expansive than before.
Not only that, the feeling he experienced during Foundation Establishment, where his muscles and blood were filled with power, was becoming even stronger.
It’s as if this newly refined True Qi possesses magical power to alter his body’s genes, continually repairing and transforming his flesh and blood, making it increasingly perfect, seemingly eliminating any tiniest defect.
This True Qi’s transformation of the body is so meticulous, the demands are truly too stringent.
However, Yang Fei was very satisfied with this phenomenon, fully concentrating on guiding this power to repair and transform his body, building his own Golden Body.
He knew that once this improvement was completed, his body should reach the true Foundation Establishment mentioned in Taoist martial arts legends, or perhaps even the legendary refined Golden Body.
Of course, the so-called Golden Body is truly mysterious, probably not quite, but he believes that by that time, the strength of his body will be unparalleled globally, and its defensive capability should be several times stronger than the previous peak.
Invincible body, that’s true invincibility!
In Wu’an City, inside the temporary administrative headquarters building.
Qin Yanyang had just arrived when she saw a National Security big shot striding up with a serious expression.
Qin Yanyang called out Uncle Tang, and the other nodded solemnly, saying, "I suspect the enemy is about to make a move."
Qin Yanyang shook her head and said, "Uncle Tang, what we need is concrete evidence, not suspicion."
This man’s name was Tang Zhenghai, and hearing this, he nodded, "Yes, such matters require confirmed information to handle properly. According to the current intelligence, both Heaven and Penglai Realm have indeed shown significant activity lately. These are the intelligence we’ve gathered, take a look."
Qin Yanyang flipped through the intelligence as she walked. With her advanced Realm, she scanned through the densely packed pages with just a few glances, retaining long-lasting memories. This update is available on novel✶fire.net
Suddenly, her pupils constricted slightly, and she paused her steps.
These were some blurry photos, yet from the vague outlines in the photos, she recognized them at a glance—these people were formidable adversaries of the Federation and Japan.
Though these people were secular, Qin Yanyang knew them, understanding they were true experts in the secular world. Now, even when Heaven and Penglai Realm have entered the world, these individuals still hold weight.
"They’re definitely going to act," Qin Yanyang asserted decisively.
Tang Zhenghai nodded, "That’s my guess too. Unfortunately, we can only grasp information about these secular competitors, but have little on the powerful figures from Heaven and Penglai Realm. These experts are elusive, making it difficult to capture their whereabouts; otherwise, we could monitor them better, understanding their every move."
Qin Yanyang chuckled silently, shaking her head, "Uncle Tang, that’s too naive. For experts of that caliber, it’s impossible to lock down their movement information. For instance, our people—at most the enemy can only know some of the Military Department’s movements. If I choose to leave the Divine Continent to Europe or America or Japan, as long as I stay quiet, they might not even notice I’m gone."
Tang Zhenghai gave a bitter smile and nodded, "Indeed, our National Security work was already tough, now with cultivation experts from the Three Realms entering the world, it’s overwhelming. If you don’t train more talents of the same type for me, National Security’s work might fall apart."
Qin Yanyang laughed, "Don’t worry, we’re the same as Europe and America and Japan—they aren’t in a better position. Everyone is struggling for time, slowly enhancing the quality and capabilities of personnel in each department."
Tang Zhenghai nodded silently, agreeing on this point.
He thought for a while, frowned, and said, "Since the enemy is about to act, what should we do? The border is too long, we can’t stop those high-flying Martial Artists from crossing. Once they enter, they might carry out decapitation strikes against our leadership—it’s hard to guard against."
Qin Yanyang also frowned.
There’s no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days.
From ancient times, offense is always more threatening than defense.
Only defending without attacking always falls short.
However, now even attacking might hardly yield much effect.
The key issue is the lack of usable people.
On the other hand, Heaven and Penglai Realm formed a united alliance, highly cohesive, with far more usable experts than the Divine Continent.
The Divine Continent already lost many experts after the previous Hidden Sect internal conflict, and now both Qingtian Sect and Poison Sect have gone overseas, leaving Ji Family and Zhang Family to Korea.
As for Langya Wang Family, though they have not left the Divine Continent for now, directly deploying them for tasks—even if they agree for the sake of the nation’s cause—it won’t be as efficient as using our own people.
Visible conflicts no longer intimidate the Divine Continent.
But the hidden warfare is hard to defend against.
Qin Yanyang has a headache about this.
She quickly thought through strategies.
Eventually, unable to come up with a better solution, she said, "We can only activate the pre-established plan."
Tang Zhenghai said, "Retreat to Yunwu Mountain’s Base?"
Qin Yanyang nodded, "Only this way can ensure everyone’s safety."
Tang Zhenghai frowned, "But the leadership numbers are too many, and even if they all hide at Yunwu Mountain’s Base, what about the middle-level leaders? These individuals play a crucial role in the nation’s operations. If the enemy can’t find us, they’ll target them instead. If there are major casualties among the middle level, it would severely impact and threaten the operational framework of the Divine Continent."
Qin Yanyang thought hard for a long time, suddenly a fierce determination flashed in her eyes, "Then I’ll use myself as bait to draw them to Yunwu Mountain’s Base."
Tang Zhenghai was shocked, "Absolutely not! That would leave you in a dire situation, and if the enemy has too many experts attacking Yunwu Mountain’s Base, even with defenses in place, it might not hold. Once the base is breached, the Divine Continent is truly finished."
